About this file
Attachment B is a procedural document detailing guidelines for pesticide handling, specifically for the Hamilton Unit Soft Rock Weed Management Spring 2025 project in Montana. The document outlines seven comprehensive procedures for mixing, loading, and disposing of pesticides, which apply to all pesticide applications in the project area located approximately 2 miles east of Corvallis, MT, covering 45 total acres.
The procedures emphasize environmental safety and worker protection, requiring activities like mixing pesticides away from surface waters, using proper dilution techniques, and employing specific personal protective equipment during mixing. Key safety protocols include using back-siphoning prevention devices on hoses, mixing only daily-usable quantities, triple-rinsing empty containers, and properly disposing of pesticide containers off the application area. These guidelines ensure responsible pesticide management, minimize environmental contamination risks, and protect worker health during the weed management project.
